Recipe : " Alfajores" ....ummm delicioso!

sorry:on the first step is 1 cup butter and 3/4 granulated sugar
on the second step besides the 2 egg yolk add 1 whole egg
I'm following my own recipe as we speak ....thanks.
                          Get ready to make '' Alfajores" ummm delocioso!!..are you ready
                           First you need to know this a Peruvian Desert  originated in ''Peru''
                           in the 1,700 when the spaniards brougth their cookie recipe and
                           Peru took it and remodified with Peruvian ingredients & wow!
                           Find your favorite Peruvian music, I think this is very Important
                           you need to use your 5 senses...somehow the Peruvian flavor is
                           born by this main ingredient.....enjoy....this was my
                           second time making them...remenber just be open minded and
                           and be happy and selfconfident that you can do it.
                     
                        1.- Beat until flufy 1 cup butter and 3/4 cup butter.
                        2.- Add and keep mixing :
                                      2 egg yolks (litgly mix)
                                     1 tablespoon vanilla
                                      2 teaspoon lemon rind
                        3.- In a separated bowl sift toguether:
                                     2   1/2 cup cornstarch
                                      1  2/3 cup flour
                                     1 pinch of salt
                                     1/4 teasp. Baking powder.
                         4.- Add the dry ingredients 1/2 cup & the time  ... mix....
                               you can use mixer or a fork or Peruvian Style using
                               yur beautifull clean hands..mix very well.
                               ( picture below).
                          5.- flour surface very well this the secret for them to be easy
                                to cup up and removed from surface..you can use round
                                shapes heart shapes make it into a large cake...(picture below)
                           6.- place on cookie sheet and cook at 375 for ..well here come the
                                the trickiest part....there have to be a litle of challenge now
                                if you have thin cookie or thick cookie a large one or small
                                you want to make them all the same thickness and only bake
                                them until yellow no brown or golden brown ...if you over cook
                                they wont melt in your mouth...soorryy...during this part I stay next
                                oven for my first batch and time it and watch and then I will use
                                 same temperature and time for the rest of my cookies..oufffff
                                Now with the challege out of the way...yummmm
                   
                          7.- have them cool off...and fill with condensed milk that have been
                                boil for 3 hours and cool off.
                           8.- Now Create a litle powder sugar or coconut to make the
                                sprinckles stick spread the cool  condensed milk around the edges
                                now is time.....take a bite....ummmmmm que rico, delicioso!!
                         
                               From me to you enjoy!!!
